Foster The Youth: Halbreich's Home of Champions
Growing up in the foster care system isn’t easy. Judith Halbreich helps empower youths, transitions them out of the system and transforms them into leaders. By the start of the next school year, nearly a dozen foster care youths will be residing in New Paltz as they hone their leadership skills.
New Paltz foster home planners reach out
“We identify ‘diamonds in the rough’ and polish them to shine on the crown of society.” That’s the advertising tagline of Home of Champions, a project intended to convert the longtime home of former world heavyweight boxing champion Floyd Patterson and his family into a site where high-achieving youth who are aging out of foster care can hone their leadership skills.
Life in college after a life in foster care
OAKLAND, Calif. — Being an extrovert is a double-edged sword. I can speak confidently in my college classes and in front of large groups. But everyone seems to think I’ve got it all under control, and I rarely feel that way. There’s a ticking clock always in the back of my mind. I need to graduate and become financially independent before the support I get from the foster care system disappears.
